SDA
A Leap to Dream
On a chilly November morning in 2014, a group of youngsters, mostly in their teens, united together for something greater. They assembled their energetic and curious minds to begin a journey towards fulfilling a dream of giving back to society by formally establishing an organization, Shangri-La Development Association (SDA).
Following an intensive three-day workshop, SDA was brought into shape with a zealous and committed pack who were determined to commence their career in the arena of their dreams, eagerly supported by the founders of the development partner (Govinda Association).
The goal was and still is to serve the underprivileged and marginalized. In Shangrila Orphanage home, they had access to a compassionate environment surrounded by opportunities. Before that, they all had bitter experiences and atypical childhood.
The youngsters once shared unlimited affection and a kitchen under one roof. Eventually, the founding members developed into strong personalities with the zeal and capacity to give back to society. Today, they stand as competent, qualified, and accomplished individuals. It all became possible due to the noble people of Govinda and Shangrila E.V.
SDA stands in the notion of extending an opportunity for the needy with the aspiration of making a positive change that endures. SDA has helped uplift the standard of indigenous lives in the rural parts of Nepal. Thousands have already benefitted from their continuous effort over the years.
The reconstruction and emergency aid projects are considered milestones for SDA as an organization. Moving forward, SDA has a real uphill battle as it perseveres on its journey of inspiring people and fulfilling long-cherished dreams.
